Best Hotels With a Pool in Bauru
Families breaking a long drive across the interior paulista are the usual bookers here, along with couples who want a rooftop and a sun terrace for a weekend out of Sao Paulo. Ten hotels in Bauru have a pool, and they divide cleanly into three kinds: rooftop pools built for lounging, one semi-olympic lap pool for swimmers, and ground-level pools with sunloungers at the four-star towers. Flat Saint Paul Residence put its pool on the roof a kilometre from Bauru Centre, Hotel Nacoes Plaza did the same above a lush garden, and Biazi Plaza Hotel Bauru is the only address in the city with an indoor pool as well as an outdoor one.
Bauru is a junction town rather than a destination, grown up around the old Noroeste do Brasil railway and the highways that still carry Sao Paulo traffic into the interior. That shapes the hotels: they are built for people passing through or working, so pools sit on roofs and in car parks rather than in gardens. Weekends belong to the Vitoria Regia park, Bauru Shopping and the municipal zoo, and the city's heat peaks between December and February.

Where to stay
Stays in Bauru
A pool matters more in Bauru than the city's inland position suggests, because summer afternoons in the interior paulista run hot and heavy before the storms arrive. The choice is genuinely varied for a city this size: rooftops at Flat Saint Paul Residence, Hotel Nacoes Plaza and Tulip Inn Bauru, a semi-olympic lap pool at Astron Hotel Bauru by Nobile, sunloungers at Vitoria Regia Hotel Bauru on Avenida Nacoes Unidas, and free parking at most of them.
Couples after a rooftop and a view have three genuine options, and they differ in what sits underneath. Tulip Inn Bauru combines its rooftop swimming pool with a fitness centre, a sun terrace and a lush garden, plus free on-site private parking and a buffet breakfast, and it holds a rating of 9 across more than 1,300 reviews. Hotel Nacoes Plaza puts its rooftop pool above a garden with balconied family rooms and an electric vehicle charging station. Flat Saint Paul Residence keeps its rooftop pool a kilometre from Bauru Centre, walking distance from the bars of Avenida Getulio Vargas.
Families with children in the water for three hours at a stretch should look at the four-star towers instead. Biazi Plaza Hotel Bauru is the strongest of them, four kilometres from Bauru Airport with an indoor pool alongside the outdoor one, a sun terrace, a sauna, a fitness centre, billiards and a restaurant, all with free private parking on site. Astron Hotel Bauru by Nobile has the semi-olympic lap pool next to Avenida Getulio Vargas. Comfort Hotel Bauru pairs its outdoor pool with a fitness centre 400 metres from Bauru Shopping and rates highest in the city at 9.2.
Travellers watching the budget still get a pool in Bauru, which is not true of every interior city. Ipe Rosa Hotel, the cheapest bed in town, sits a kilometre from the Vitoria Regia park and 850 metres from the USP Centrinho hospital with automated check-in and a breakfast buffet of seasonal fruit and natural juices. Vitoria Regia Hotel Bauru offers a pool with sunloungers and a gym directly on Avenida Nacoes Unidas, two kilometres from the Bauru bus station, with free private parking and a buffet breakfast in its restaurant.
A traveler's takeThe custo-beneficio on a pool stay in Bauru is the reason weekenders from the capital keep coming: a four-star room with a pool, breakfast and free parking here costs less than a plain room without any of them in a coastal town. Guests notice that the rooftop pools catch the late afternoon sun and empty by six, when the city cools fast. The trade-off is that none of these pools is heated except the indoor one at Biazi Plaza, which makes June and July swimming a short business.

A rooftop pool over a garden, rated 9 by 1,300 guests

The rooftop swimming pool and sun terrace are the main draw for children, and the lush garden offers a quieter corner.

A sauna, a fitness centre and a sun terrace give parents their own breathing room, and billiards can keep older children busy in the evening. The on-site restaurant avoids a drive for dinner, and free private parking suits families on a road trip. An 8.9 rating from 550 reviews supports its four stars.

8.6Astron Hotel Bauru by Nobile
Bauru
The only semi-olympic lap pool in the city

7.7Obeid Plaza Hotel
Bauru
A marble lobby and a sauna on Bauru's main avenue
Why guests love itObeid Plaza Hotel gives a family in Bauru more facilities than most local hotels: an outdoor pool for the children, a gym and a sauna for the adults, and two restaurants on site, so dinner never needs a car. Rooms are air-conditioned, with cable TV, a minibar and an en suite bathroom. The 1980s building shows its age in the carpets and wood furniture, which some will find charming and others dated. I would book it for the pool and the main avenue address.
7.7Hotel Nações Plaza
Bauru
A rooftop pool above a garden, with balconies throughout
Why guests love itHotel Nações Plaza is a sound family pick in Bauru thanks to two features children notice: a rooftop swimming pool and a garden with outdoor seating. Family rooms are air-conditioned and have balconies, a minibar and a TV. Free WiFi, a lift and a 24-hour front desk cover the practical side, and an electric vehicle charging station helps families on a road trip. Guests rate it 7.7 out of 10 across 69 reviews. I would choose it over a business hotel for a weekend stay.
7.6Flat Saint Paul Residence
Bauru
Rooftop pool and balcony rooms a kilometre from the centre
Why guests love itFlat Saint Paul Residence is an apart-hotel about a kilometre from central Bauru, and its rooftop swimming pool is the main reason a family would pick it. Rooms are air-conditioned with a balcony, a minibar and a 32-inch LCD TV, and a buffet breakfast is served every day. Free parking and free WiFi are included. The bars of Avenida Getúlio Vargas are nearby, livelier for adults than for children. A 7.6 score from 260 reviews suggests decent, unremarkable comfort.
7.5Ipê Rosa Hotel
Bauru
The city's one budget address, beside the Centrinho hospital
Why guests love itIpê Rosa Hotel sits 850 metres from the USP Centrinho hospital and a kilometre from the Vitória Régia park, so I would point it out to families in Bauru for a hospital appointment on a tight budget. It sells private rooms with private bathrooms as well as dormitory beds, and the floors are tiled. Free WiFi runs throughout, and an automated check-in service covers late arrivals. Guests give it 7.5 from 93 reviews, a modest score.
Local tips
- 1Book Biazi Plaza Hotel Bauru between June and August if swimming matters, because its indoor pool is the only one in the city that stays usable through the interior winter.
- 2Take the rooftop pools in the late afternoon rather than at midday, since Flat Saint Paul Residence and Tulip Inn Bauru both catch heavy sun with limited shade.
- 3Check that the pool is open before booking a summer weekend, as several Bauru hotels close theirs briefly for maintenance in the low season around May.
- 4Choose Astron Hotel Bauru by Nobile only if you swim lengths, and remember its valet parking carries a surcharge while most rivals include parking free.
- 5Pick a hotel near Bauru Shopping such as Comfort Hotel Bauru if you want the pool quiet, because the central rooftops fill with weekend guests from Sao Paulo.
